- the convertible nature of the garment allows the garment to be worn in a tight-fitting, special-purpose form during exercise and be adjusted to a different, looser form following completion of the exercise.
- wetsuits have been worn by experts and amateurs alike for underwater activities such as diving or for cold-weather watersports such as surfing or kiteboarding.
- a range of special, purpose-built exercise gear has been available to be worn under the wetsuit including specialized vests, shirts, pants, shorts, and dive skins.
- the purpose of these garments is to allow the wetsuit to be donned smoothly and easily and to provide comfort to the user during the time that the wetsuit is worn.
- these garments are highly functional, they can be expensive and are typically characterized by being very tight-fitting on the user. As such, these garments are inappropriate for day-to-day use outside of the wetsuit.
- board shorts are characterized by a loose-fitting style, and they can comfortably be worn by the user both during and outside of water activities.
- board shorts make a poor choice as a base layer under the wetsuit because they tend to wrinkle and ride up as the wetsuit is donned.
- board shorts tend to bunch even further and cause the user great discomfort.
- the exposed skin of the upper thighs may be subject to wax rash. In rare but serious cases, the bunching can be so severe that blood flow to the leg is restricted leading to medical problems including decompression sickness.
- the loose fit of board shorts also allows air bubbles to become trapped in the shorts.
- gear worn while running or riding a bicycle is designed to fit tightly to the user to improve aerodynamics, reduce chafing, and decrease billowing that can occur with loose-fitting clothing.
- the tight-fitting style of most exercise gear may not be desirable when the user is not actively engaged in the exercise activity.
- the tight fit of most exercise clothing can trap sweat and hot air against the user's body leading to discomfort and the potential for a rash.
- the typical solution to this problem for a bicyclist is to carry a second pair of clothing to change into when not actively cycling.
- carrying extra clothing on a bike is undesirable due to the weight and aerodynamic drag, and a changing area may not always be available at the cyclist's destination.

Abstract
A convertible garment is presented having an opening and a fabric insert. The opening can be releasably closed to cause the leg regions of the garment to tighten around the leg of a user. The garment may be configured for use in sports activities including bicycling and underwater diving.
Description
- Garments worn for many forms of exercise (e.g., running or bicycling) must fit tightly to the user's body to improve aerodynamics and prevent chafing. Similarly, garments worn as a base layer beneath a wetsuit must fit tightly to the user's body to prevent the garment from riding up as the wetsuit is donned or as the user maneuvers underwater. These purpose-built garments work well for their intended uses but are often inappropriate as general wear in terms of style and comfort when the user is not actively engaged in sport. The customary solution to this problem is for the user to carry and change into a second garment when the activity is concluded, but this solution may not be practical or possible in all cases.
- A convertible garment is presented. The convertible garment includes a system of fasteners and fabric inserts (e.g., godets, gores, gussets, or other fabric inserts of suitable size and shape) whereby the garment may transform from loose-fitting to form-fitting. The convertible garment may be adapted for use in sports having an aerodynamic element or as a base layer under a wetsuit. The system of fasteners and fabric inserts may include a variety of fastener types and fabric components.
- In one embodiment a convertible garment includes a pelvic region for covering the pelvic area of a wearer. The pelvic region defines a waistband for extending around a waist of the wearer. The convertible garment also includes a first leg region extending outward from the pelvic region for covering at least a portion of a first leg of the wearer where the first leg region has a first terminal end opposite the waistband. A first vertical opening is defined in the first leg region and extends from the first terminal end toward the waistband along at least a partial length of the first leg region. The first leg region includes a first fastener adapted to releasably close the first vertical opening. The convertible garment also includes a first fabric insert attached to the first leg region and positioned within the first vertical opening. The convertible garment further includes a second leg region extending outward from the pelvic region for covering at least a portion of a second leg of the wearer where the second leg region has a second terminal end opposite the waistband. A second vertical opening is defined in the second leg region and extends from the second terminal end towards the waistband along at least a partial length of the second leg region. The second leg region includes a second fastener adapted to releasably close the second vertical opening. The convertible garment also includes a second fabric insert attached to the second leg region and positioned within the second vertical opening.

Similarly, garments worn as a base layer beneath a wetsuit must fit tightly to the user's body to prevent the garment from riding up as the wetsuit is donned or as the user maneuvers underwater. These purpose-built garments work well for their intended uses but are often inappropriate as general wear in terms of style and comfort when the user is not actively engaged in sport. The customary solution to this problem is for the user to carry and change into a second garment when their activity is concluded, but this solution may not be practical or possible in all cases.
- Embodiments of the present invention provide convertible garments and methods for their assembly. The garments are characterized by a system of fasteners and fabric inserts (e.g., godets, gores, gussets, or any other fabric insert of suitable size and shape) that allow the garment to transform between loose-fitting and form-fitting. The convertible nature of the garment allows the garment to be worn in a tight-fitting, special-purpose form during exercise and be adjusted to a different, looser form following completion of the exercise.
- Traditionally, wetsuits have been worn by experts and amateurs alike for underwater activities such as diving or for cold-weather watersports such as surfing or kiteboarding. A range of special, purpose-built exercise gear has been available to be worn under the wetsuit including specialized vests, shirts, pants, shorts, and dive skins. The purpose of these garments is to allow the wetsuit to be donned smoothly and easily and to provide comfort to the user during the time that the wetsuit is worn. Although these garments are highly functional, they can be expensive and are typically characterized by being very tight-fitting on the user. As such, these garments are inappropriate for day-to-day use outside of the wetsuit.
- In contrast to such tight fitting specialized gear, board shorts are characterized by a loose-fitting style, and they can comfortably be worn by the user both during and outside of water activities. Unfortunately, board shorts make a poor choice as a base layer under the wetsuit because they tend to wrinkle and ride up as the wetsuit is donned. As the user maneuvers while wearing the wetsuit, board shorts tend to bunch even further and cause the user great discomfort. With the board shorts bunched up, the exposed skin of the upper thighs may be subject to wax rash. In rare but serious cases, the bunching can be so severe that blood flow to the leg is restricted leading to medical problems including decompression sickness. The loose fit of board shorts also allows air bubbles to become trapped in the shorts.
- In another similar type of purpose-built exercise gear, gear worn while running or riding a bicycle is designed to fit tightly to the user to improve aerodynamics, reduce chafing, and decrease billowing that can occur with loose-fitting clothing. Unfortunately, the tight-fitting style of most exercise gear may not be desirable when the user is not actively engaged in the exercise activity. In addition, the tight fit of most exercise clothing can trap sweat and hot air against the user's body leading to discomfort and the potential for a rash. The typical solution to this problem for a bicyclist is to carry a second pair of clothing to change into when not actively cycling. However, carrying extra clothing on a bike is undesirable due to the weight and aerodynamic drag, and a changing area may not always be available at the cyclist's destination.
- As noted above, embodiments of the present invention address these issues by providing convertible garments. In the embodiment depicted in
